guys as I am sure most of you are aware I got an FMIC and have been fitting it over the past couple of days. Everything’s all good with it however the new piping doesn’t come with that little nipple thing (this is the n00b part).

On the stock IC piping I have a bit of rubber piping running to my bleed valve to determine how much air to bleed out etc however the new piping doesn’t have the little nipple thing to attach it too. Can I just take this piping to any metal/exhaust place and get them to make it up also as an alternative I am sure that me and dad could weld one onto it but were do I actually get the nippily thing.

PS: I am aware I have said nipple alot don’t get to aroused people. :boobs:

Leech i had the same issue a week or 2 ago. Just buy a brass nipple from autopro and either bolt it or weld it into the IC return pipe.

have a look at mine as i am sure it doesnt have one either but i have a bleed valve.  Come to trivia

ahhhh what time you going to be out their as you must have somewhere a line that runs to your bleed valve from the ic piping otherwise how does it know how much PSI is going through. i have shit to do tonight but i might be able to pop out for like 30 minutes to have a squiz

Yeah you definately need it, it runs (via your bleed valve) to the boost control solenoid/wastegate actuator...mine does anyway.

yea thats exactly what i thought without that wont it just majorly overboost ??? as it will have no idea how much boost it will be running.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
